1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT MAY 16TH AT 2:00 A.M. AT THE CORNER OF PAGE AND BENNINGTON IN CREVE COEUR, MO. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR IS SMASHED IN, YET THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF, WHICH, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AT HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/CHRYSLER_AIRBAG.HTM THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, THOUGH THE DOCTOR FEARED IT WAS MUCH WORSE, ORDERING UP CAT SCANS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS NO FURTHER BLEEDING IN MY BRAIN. I FURTHERMORE, HAVE, NOW, A STIFF NECK, WHICH FAILS IN COMPARISON TO OTHER PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT RELEASE AS IS, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, REQUIRED IF THE IMPACT IS STRAIGHT-ON FRONT SIDE OVER 5 MPH. NOW, THAT MAY BE SIMPLY SPECULATION ON MY END, YET, I KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT I HAVE PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE DUE TO A FAULTY AIRBAG. *NLM

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE AND THE DRIVER SLIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE RACED BACKWARDS WHICH CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. *NLM

FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS OCT - 2001, BLEW IGNITION FUSE , THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER. REPLACED STARTER AND FUSES PER DIAGNOSES FROM DEALER(STARTER DRAWING EXCESS AMPS CAUSING IGNITION FUSES TO BLOW). MARCH 2003 , IGNITION FUSE STARTED TO BLOW AGAIN. REPLACED FUSES ABOUT SIX TIMES IN ABOUT A MONTH. APRIL 7, 2003 BLEW IGNITION FUSE AGAIN, FUSE WOULD NOT HOLD ,CAR TOWED TO DEALER. *NLM

THE SAFETY BELT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT COME OUT, AGAIN! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN FIVE YEARS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND EACH TIME I'VE HAD TO FIGHT W/CHRYSLER TO FIX THEIR FAULTY SAFETY ISSUE. SO ONCE AGAIN THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN! *NLM

THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND INDICATED THAT THE COMPONENT WAS RECALLED BUT THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *NLM

FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS , THERE HAS BEEN A GRADUAL ROAR FROM THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. UPON A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION IT HAS BEEN SUMMIZED AS THE REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING/ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE. THIS STARTED AT 50K MILES. SINCE THIS IS A SEALED COMPONENT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *NLM

MY CAR KEEPS BLOWING THE IGNITION FUSE. IT WILL BE FINE FOR A WHILE THEN IT BLOWS TWO IN A ROW AND ON THE THIRD IT WILL START. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE. THOUGH THEY DO SAY IF I WANT TO PAY THEIR HOURLY WAGE THEY WILL TROUBLE SHOOT IT. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, AND THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JB THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED, ALSO TURNED IN A 360 DEGREE ANGLE, AND BOUNCED OFF OF THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. SCC
